And I got a ****in' Steele Reserve High Gravity. Took one sip and it was promptly poured out. Just for the LOLs, searched for it on beeradvocate.com and found comments such as "tastes like aluminum" and "the FDA should look into this". LMAO After that bullshit, they added a rule of "no crap beer". |
Only one BCS tonight (plus a TG Smores) and it's delicious. At least 2nd to 150 at this point, but 150 would get the edge on body. It's a pretty perfect level of cinnamon without being overpowering.

Peanut butter, chocolate...and coffee
Slightly humorous tidbit, the non-coffee version of this beer is called Fat Bear. In a few Facebook beer groups I lurk people would talk about the beer in innocent beer dork kind of ways like posting "yum this Fat Bear is a thiccc boy" and it triggered Facebook's algorithm into thinking it was some clandestine gay reference and they started censoring the posts. Not because of beer but fat gay bear references. Anywho, this is delish https://i.imgur.com/QuzVsEs.jpg?1 |

I was lucky enough to get to try a can of Revolution Blackberry Finn. It was a genuine ****ing pleasure. Please ignore the use of the pint glass. I was in the man cave in my back building, and it was cold outside. I didn't feel like walking to the house for a proper glass.
The pint glass mattered none, though. I've been able to try a number of cans from Revolution's barrel program, and I can't remember many that were tailored towards my taste buds like this one. I'm a weirdo that prefers barrel-aged barleywines over barrel-aged stouts, and blackberry is one of my favorite fruits. I'd eat it on a daily basis if the seeds weren't so ****ing bothersome. So, a BA Barleywine aged with blackberries sounds like a dream to me. The can lived up to the hype in my mind as well. Even with barleywines, I prefer a subtle barrel. Or at least a barrel that doesn't completely overpower any adjuncts in the beer. I was a bit nervous about that after taking a sniff, because I smelled mostly barrel. But man, when I took a sip, there was subtle barrel and the fruit hit so hard. It might have been 60/40 fruit to barrel as the glass warmed. I don't know how else to describe it except as fantastic. And that color is gorgeous. Man. An absolute pleasure. A standout beer from 2021 for sure. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d356d49e04.jpg |
Sounds amazing, don't think I've had a blackberry beer before.
And nothing wrong with a pint glass, even though I do get fancy from time to time. |

Blackberry is a great fruit. As I mentioned in my post, though, the seeds are annoying af. I figure that's why it's not used as much as other fruits in cooking. I had a blackberry pie once that was one of the best pies I've tasted, but I couldn't finish it because of the damn seeds getting stuck in my teeth. Marcellus sent me a homebrew blackberry saison years ago that was great as well. I do wish more breweries would utilize the fruit. |

Tried Parish Rêve yesterday and it was quite tasty. I'm obviously not a lighter stout kind of guy, but was impressed with that one.

Stopped in for some liquid lunch while out by O'hare today.
Press Play is a collab with Voodoo (pictured in glass). Thiccc hazelnut brownie batter. In Unison is a BA stout/barleywine blend. https://i.imgur.com/FaaRTuU.jpg?1 |
For my own Christmas gift, I purchased a 12-case of Birra Nursia bionda, available here: https://birranursia.com/
